Some high flying, elbow dropping family fun is coming to the Montco Gym in Harleysville Saturday night.

Under the direction of Lansdale resident Dave Daly, the newest brand of professional wrestling will host their first ever show. Daly’s Excellence Professional Wrestling separates itself from the competition with no cursing, no unsportsmanlike behavior, but the same live action and drama wrestling typically delivers.

“We wanted to bring an event to the area people will embrace,” Daly said. “We are going to be a family friendly event. Anything we do, if you bring a child, you will not be embarrassed by. But we also are not so silly that the adults will not enjoy themselves.”

The Inaugural Brawl has a lineup of wrestlers from around the world. The main event will be Mr. Touchdown and Blaster McMassive. All of your ring announcing will be brought to you by The Reporter’s Brian Bingaman. Daly decided the area needed cheap entertainment outlet and he believes Excellence Professional Wrestling will definitely deliver.

“Our wrestlers are coming from far and wide, with years of experience,” Daly said. “We thought the area is a good spot to bring this kind of entertainment. We want to give the area something, in a classy way, that people can get behind and enjoy. Our original ring announcer could not make it and I saw Brian does voice-over stuff. We needed a guy with a good voice and I believe his actual words were, “He thought it would be a hoot.”

Daly had been away from the wrestling mats for a few years now, but is ready to get back in the business and give the Lansdale area an athletic show to remember. Under the tutelage of an owner from a another promotion some of his wrestlers also work for, Daly thinks $15 general admission, $20 dollars if you want to sit front row, will be well worth a few hours of fun for kids and adults.

“I think the way the economy is, people are just looking for a nice night out on a low cost,” Daly said. “I have another business, but as I get older, it now feels like a really good time to do this.”

Daly has added athletes like Dasher Hatfield, The Usurper and the Estonian Thunderfrog to the roster and they will all be at the Inaugural Brawl this weekend. Once a few wrestlers committed to perform for Excellence Professional Wrestling the roster rounded out quickly. Daly’s group is ready to take off. All that is left to do is ring the bell.

“I got some guys and the rest of guys wanted to come,” Daly said. “They are quality guys, well rounded guys, who have been around the wrestling circles. We are preparing for any and all. I’m sure people that do come will leave satisfied and wanting more.”
